Haven't done much following up on it, but apparently if you set your game to Expert, then die and reload or save and reload, the game will revert back to Normal or Easy. This is one FUBAR of an experience if true, especially for a game of the Thief series, so I'm going to d/l the Thief III demo and check it out.
EDIT; Apparently it also affects the XBox version. Well damn. Anyway, here's more info...
